Unleashing Your Inner Artist

Encouragement, inspiration & permission

THE WEEKLY EDIT:

Drinking: Moon Juice Mini Dew
In my continued quest to maximize hydration (trace minerals, salts, 132 oz/day in this bottle, oh my!), I ordered Mini Dew by Moon Juice which is a 2-in-1: electrolytes + minerals for hydration and brain function. I'm here for it - another nice addition to my daily water cocktailing.

Ordered to read: The Artist's Way
This book about higher creativity was recommended and it feels fitting to pass it onto you given the topic this week (circle back to this after reading!).

Using: RŌZ Root Spray
I LOVE RŌZ's shampoo & conditioner (the best clean option there is!) so when they launched root spray and sent it to me, I was stoked! It gives a high-volume lift, is buildable, non-sticky, and I appreciate their eco aerosol bottle. Very much well on my way to the Cindy side part.

Wearing: Dixie by Vehla
Sometimes all it takes to breathe new life into your wardrobe is one new accessory and these sunglasses check that box. They give on-trend Instagram girl.

Following: Katie Chan
I've been hitting the follow button on artists lately and love the little drawing videos (like this, this and this) Katie does. Meditative to watch and fun to try on your own!

Shopping: Heidi Merrick
Whenever I'm heading on a trip, I like to browse Heidi Merrick for a little special vacation piece. I'm currently eying Rosie in black or cream for an upcoming warm weather trip - it's chic, breastfeeding-friendly and the length is just right for these pale legs. And while I was there, I ordered this trench because it's just too good not to!

ALRIGHT, LET’S GET INTO IT:
Unleashing Your Inner Artist

When we first moved to Santa Ynez, my girlfriend Vanessa, who is an incredibly creative multi-hyphenate director-dancer-thinker, said to me over lunch “While you’re there in nature, with space and time, I want to see you explore Geri the artist.”  

“What do you mean by artist?” I asked her.
